House-Mouse and Friends Challenge

Hi

This is my entry into the House-Mouse and Friends Challenge.  I actually meant to post it for the last challenge but left it too late, but fortunately for me every challenge has an anything goes option so I'm still able to enter it!

Once again, access to the internet has cost me!  I saw a card made using these patchwork dies from Crealies.  I loved the effect so decided to treat myself.  I opened the dies as soon as they arrived and used them to make this Valentine's card for my hubby.  I can see I'll get lots of use from these dies.

I drew around the largest die to make my card base, then cut the shape again from red card, then again from the lovely backing paper from Joanna Sheens' Gruffies & Happy Hoppers cd-rom.  The main image was also from this lovely cd-rom.  I printed out the wording I wanted, die cut the shapes, then went round the edges using ultra thick embossing enamel,  Unfortunately it doesn't show up very well in the picture.

I printed the matching insert from the cd rom to complete the card.

Thanks for visiting my blog today,
